Had another dream last night about Kirk......................................
|
Loretta

Looking forward to seeing Spear, I absolutely love watching Kirk.....
|
Jean Genie
|
I'm looking forward to the gig at the Rigger, Newcastle (Stoke) on 13 December. Unfortunately I can't get to either Oran Mor (due to Capercaillie rescheduled gig) or Manchester (Lifeboats Christmas meal).
I've been in touch with Mark at Netmerch and provisionally booked accommodation in Crewe for Westworld, and should be getting my gig tickets for the event some time before the end of the year..

Will

Kirk that is

Great stuff Will.. I might just be going to Mansfield tomorrow night. I was hoping to get to the Rigger on Thursday, but that has gone on the backburner (unless my friend Maureen has better news about the car/finances).
Just to let folk know... Theatre Of Hate have been confirmed as support to The Cult on only part of the UK tour. To my knowledge, there are no plans for them to support them in Glasgow, but they will be on the same bill on some dates, thankfully Manchester included..
|
Loretta
|
Thanks Will, they will get me through the day
|
FUNFOXYLADY007

Great pic Will
Loretta all a glow eh
The Cult can't wait to see them again in my goth stuff

Hows Kirk?
Cant wait to see them this fri
|
Jean Genie
|
He's fine, hun.. In great form, both voice and humour. The new songs sound terrific, and I'd recommend you take some extra pennies on Friday for the new cd, Imperial Prototype.
Wish I could be there on Friday, but it's the Lifeboats Christmas Meal, and tickets have been bought. Not to worry, as I said, I'm hoping to be at the Rigger tomorrow night. Enjoy Manchester.. it should be a corker..
|
Jean Genie
|
Great news.. Going along to the Rigger tomorrow at Newcastle (the one by Stoke!) I'll tell Kirk you'll be there Friday Loretta... Have you got him a Primark t-shirt yet??
|
Loretta
|
He can have mine anytime, I still have the one he signed AND where he put things..
|
Jean Genie
|
|
Loretta
|
Still tickles me that does!
|
Jean Genie

Loretta.. double check with the venue that the gig is definitely happening tonight. Robin, the drummer, managed to get himself a nasty eye injury in the soundcheck at the Rigger, which meant him spending his time at casualty while the gig went ahead without him. Kirk played an acoustic set, then Craig and Adrian joined him on guitars for some more upbeat stuff. They may do the same again in Manchester, possibly play with Robin (depending on the state of the injury) or maybe even pull the gig. I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you.. the acoustic stuff was a bit special..
If I get any further news later, I'll let you know..
|
Loretta
|
Oh blimmin heck, hope he is ok? Taking a friend tonight who has never seen them so I hope all is well. Thanks.
|
Loretta
|
Just contacted the venue and the support act Penetration have cancelled, as long as Spear still play I will be there
Mind you, you dont know what developements arise throughout the day do you?
|
Jean Genie
|
I'm staying online for the bulk of the day to see if I can get any further news. I just hope that the Penetration cancellation is unrelated to the incident yesterday.

Jean Genie

This bulletin has been posted on the Myspace site: Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, especially to Loretta. I will let you know of the new dates once they are confirmed..
Sorry Guys and Girls
as you may have already heard Robin has badly
injured his left eye when a drum stick
he was using during soundcheck before
last nights Rigger gig shattered and splintered
into his eye.
After 6 and 1/2 hours in the accident and emergency
unit and 4 hours with an eye specialist this morning
we have no choice but to move tonight's show in
Manchester and tomorrow's show in Leeds to after
Christmas.
As soon as we have confirmed new dates a new
mail out will be sent.

Some good news for Loretta (and ironic news for me...)
SOD have rearranged their Manchester and Leeds gigs for 2 and 3 February.. (Shirl's in Belfast on her birthday weekend...)
Argh...... Still Westworld beckons in April!!
|
Loretta
|
|
Jean Genie
|
Just to confirm that the rearranged Spear Of Destiny Manchester gig is on Sunday 3 February, at Manchester Academy (Club Academy). It is in the main Student Union building, not the newer main Academy venue next door.
|
Loretta
|
So its not Feb then? thought it was 3 of Feb?
|
Jean Genie
|
Sorry Loretta.. My mistake.. You are correct - The rearranged date is Sunday 3 February. I apologise for the confusion..
It's been a long week..
